THE WORD
SEASONS AND MOMENTS
“To everything there is a season.” There are moments in our lives when the sun shines and other moments when it is cold. They say there is a time to sing and speak and a time to remain silent.
A time to harvest and a time to sow. There is a time to stay at home and another time to go out. Sometimes it is not the time to embrace with a warm hug; other times it is. This is the joy of everything – the chocolate box of life – where we are blessed with moments of change, times of stability; moments of joy and nights of sorrow; evenings when we are gathered and evenings when we sit alone. We live in the midst of changing seasons but we remain firm in faith, fortitude and fearlessness.
You will find these moments of everything in the autumn season of open microphone action taking place just down the road from you. Don’t miss the moment; don’t let the season pass you by.
Capture the unfolding moments this month at all of your favourite venues in Takaka, Onekaka and Collingwood. This Thursday 2 April at NgAnga’s Gallery; every Wednesday at The Dangerous Kitchen and Thursday 30 April at The Mussel Inn where our guests will be my singer/songwriter friends from Wellington, The Haewai Collective.
Come on down to these little seasons of delight and watch the world turn around you. Love to see you there as always.
Peace
